Five Takeaways: Rams 30-19 Loss to Bills

By Myles Simmons


With their 30-19 loss to the Bills on Sunday, the Rams’ record is now 3-2 on the 2016 season. There were many elements that added up to Los Angeles’ first home loss of the year, but there were some positive factors in the matchup as well. Let’s take a deeper look at both in this week’s five takeaways.

1) Turnovers in critical situations

In Los Angeles’ three 2016 wins, the club been either even or positive in the turnover margin. In Sunday’s contest against Buffalo, the Rams finished -3.

Running back Todd Gurley had two fumbles, one of which was recovered by the Bills’ defense. And quarterback Case Keenum threw two interceptions, one of which was returned for a touchdown.

In all, the Bills scored 13 points off the Rams’ turnovers.

“It took points off the board [with] the first fumble and then we allowed them to put points on the board,” head coach Jeff Fisher said. “In close ball games, those are going to be the difference makers there, so it’s disappointing.”

Keenum called the throw he made on the pick six “a bad decision,” and acknowledged that the Rams offense has to do better from a turnover standpoint going forward.

“There is a small margin of error,” Keenum said. “[It’s] not something we dwell on but that’s why … we want to be perfect every snap, because you never know what snap is going to be crucial point of the game.”
